Gold Halo Ring - 9 Carat Yellow Gold Thin Ring - Unisex

These halo shape rings have a completely round profile and a smooth, curved shape. Your ring will be made entirely by hand in my studio using traditional tools and goldsmith techniques from 9 carat yellow gold. Soft fluid lines create an organic shape and the finish can be either polished or matte. It is a very comfortable style ring because there are no edges that might dig in. They would be ideal for couples who prefer natural designs and as an alternative to standard factory made wedding rings. I can also make these in rose and white gold, please check my other listings or get in touch for a quote. They are available in 1.5mm and 2mm diameter, these photos all show 1.5mm polished.

Please note I make every item individually by hand so it will take time to make your order. You can check my shop announcement and shipping policies for current turnaround times. Alternatively just get in touch and I will give you an estimate. Gold rings will be independently hallmarked by the Edinburgh assay office to certify gold purity.

Each item comes in sturdy packaging for transit and gift wrapped ready to give or receive. I use eco-friendly recycled cardboard gift boxes and bio degradable ribbon.

Payments

Please send payment within 3 days of checkout. Orders may be cancelled if no payment or communication is received within this time.

Shipping from United Kingdom

My March turnaround time is 4-6 weeks. If you are planning ahead for wedding rings please note that my shop will be closed in April for a few weeks. I keep a small stock of ready made items in my ready to ship section. If you are planning ahead for wedding rings please note that my shop will be closed at the end of March for a few weeks.

As my work is made to order I will give you a delivery estimate once payment has cleared. Shipments will be sent to the address listed on your Etsy invoice. Please double check to make sure you have the correct address.

All of my items are handmade so they may take a little longer to produce than mass produced products. Likewise my style is quite rustic and I often like to leave tool marks and textures to enhance my designs. The equivalent of brush strokes on a painting!

Due to custom restrictions on jewellery I am not currently shipping to Australia or New Zealand, sorry for any inconvenience. Some other countries do not allow precious metals through customs so please check this before you order, I'm not able to check the rules for every country!

Additional

Hallmarks
Gold items will be hallmarked by the Edinburgh Assay Office as a guarantee of gold quality and purity. I send each piece to be independently tested and stamped to show the type of metal (e.g.18 carat). They will also have a small makers mark on the inside/back to show they came from a registered goldsmith (that's me!)

My silver items are not hallmarked as standard but please get in touch if you would like them to be as I can arrange this for a small fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my ring doesn't fit?

I appreciate that buying rings without trying them on can be tricky so I am happy to resize for free (excluding postage costs). Please get in touch to arrange so that I know you are sending it back. Bear in mind that it can be more difficult to increase than decrease ring size.

If you are not sure of your size the best method is getting measured at a jewellery shop or you can buy ring sizers in my shop to use at home. I have found that measuring yourself with string or paper doesn't produce great results so I wouldn't recommend this method.

Ring size scales vary by country so I make rings to the scale you give me. Sizes don't always correlate so I don't convert them into UK sizes as this doesn't give accurate results.

My wedding is soon, can you make a rush order?

I can often schedule my workload to have rings ready sooner than my usual working times. I can arrange for gold items to be priority hallmarked for an extra fee. Please contact me with your date and I will let you know what I can do.

What kind of textures do you make?

I make a variety of textures and shapes for rings so I have written a summary below. I always start by making a plain ring band and finish them individually by hand so each is unique. If you use the shop search using these terms you will find each type. Please remember that the surface of any silver or gold ring will gradually wear smoother over time.

Tree Bark
Slightly different from the hammered tree back this has thinner grooves and a shiny finish.

Can I have my ring engraved?

Sorry but I am not doing any ring engraving. You can easily add an engraving once you have your ring as many jewellers and hardware shops offer this service.

Is there any nickel in the metals used?

All of the metals I work with are free from nickel but please let me know if you have a nickel allergy so I can make sure the other products I use are suitable.

Do you plate white gold?

The 18 carat gold I use is an alloy of gold, palladium and silver. The palladium gives it a grey tone which I think makes it really interesting! I don't plate any white gold to make it whiter as I prefer the grey tone this also means the colour will always be the same rather than wearing off over time.
